Summary | At the World Economic Forum in Davos, everyone will be talking about artifical intelligence (AI). There have been major progress in the field thanks to natural language processing and machine learning. Future products will be using AI to improve our lifestyle; for instance, an electric toothbrush using deep learning algorithms can improve your dental hygiene. What is happening with AI today is not new, but what is different now is the speed; change is happening at a faster rate. However, to improve AI we will need more personal data, which will lead us to cross a creepy line in the future.

Shazam for the soul - can computers assess us better than humans?
Newspaper | The Guardian
Date | 7.6.2016
Language | English
Country | UK
Topic Tags | artificial intelligence
Summary | Technology can be used to assess our personality. For instance, voice profiling is already being used to analyze how we speak. Thanks to voice profiling, we can predict a person's future job performance or tell what a person's personality is (e.g. extraverted/introverted). The words we choose can also tell something about our personality. For instance, it seems that agreeable/nice people use positive and friendly words, and that neurotic people swear more. Although technology can do a lot, people like their intuition. However, we should not forget that algorithms are not prejudiced the way people are.

Does dark social have a bright future?

Topic Tags | artificial intelligence, marketing, social media
Summary | Our social media posts don't reveal who we really are. According to a research, it seems that in private users like reading about crime, fashion and celebrities. In public, users share (but don't read) articles about books, wine and the arts. This is a problem for advertisers; the posts we share make us look good, but they can't be trusted. 'Dark social' is the solution; marketers will have access to the content of our conversations (on non public social networks) to personalize their products. Also, using artifical intelligence and natural language processing, marketers will be able to deliver to personal events and products.
